SHERMAN Is coming more nrominer

SHERMAN Is coming more prominently
TO the front AS the candidate likely to
secure the republican nomination in
1888. II he should secure the leadership
of his party in that convention, inevita-
BILE destiny points to his victory. Ohio
gets there every time. Cleveland would
never have been elected president with
out Ohio Hendricks to pull him through.
Cincinnati orders the arrest Of all mer-
chants who throw their store sweepings
into the street. Judging from the APP
pesranCe of some OF our business streets,
San Antonio could make sanitary capt.
sal by following suit, and then ordering
the arrest and Gsmisal Of about two
thirds Of our sanitary inspectors. This
may sound harsh but is fully justified by
the condition in which some of our
streets, right in the business heart Of the
city, are left from week to week.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat, COM
menting upon the complaint of the
Philadelphia Record, that no rain had
fallen there recently and that il was
very badly needed before the winter
frOsts set in, says: "Charge 1t all to
Cleveland. There has been no rain in
Pennsylvania since the presidential
special train passed through the state on
Its way west. Up to that time the rain
had fallen at proper intervals, and the
earth was fruitful. Water famine is a
vile phrase, but when it means demo-
cratic drouth it is good enough for u.s."
TPPoO lib did not keep his promise
to reinforce Stanley at \ ambuya and
fears are entertained that the explorer
may be IN very uncomfortable box.
Those smarties who always are wise sf-
ter the event are airing their knowledge
Of what might have been expected and
censuring Stanley for putting himself in
the power OF the willy old chief. TippoO
ia the chief Of a wild tribe, near Stanley
Falls, and of him Stanley made friend
and through that friendship has been
able to accomplish what he has in Afri-
ca. The cablegrams lately received in
dictate that Stanley has not found this
savage as true to his promises as he had
hoped, and that this Over-confidence in
rippoo has imperilled Stanley's safety,
and the success OF his expedition for the
relief Of Emin Bey. The anxiety in
such matters will wall with no little
concern the arrival OF later intelligence.
